Presumably you've tried all the traditional DMARDs? As there are only really the two classes of drugs for RA although lots of different ones in each group. Have you discussed with your doctors about whether there are ways to help? As if it's the same sort of infections again and again maybe there are ways to reduce the risk.

Not what you're looking for?
